Remembering Mama
A contribution from Ladybird supporter. This was Mama (with her daughter “Baby” in the background). She was an incredibly loving, funny and special cat. Her life was taken too soon due to a little-known vaccine associated cancer. Please take a moment to read the information below and perhaps your cat can be saved. Vaccine associated sarcoma, or VAS, is a cancer caused by a certain kind of rabies vaccine. This vaccine contains an aluminium additive and is classified as a Killed Virus or KV vaccine. This KV additive has been linked to VAS in cats, up to 1% of cats… read more >>

Levon’s Story
My name is Levon and I am a dog. I was so named in honour of the great musician, Levon Helm. Ladybird Animal Sanctuary rescued me from a very dark place in my life. After many medical interventions, from which I am feeling much better, I moved in with a foster family. They were awesome! A bunch of canine companions, new feline friends a great set of humans! What more could a dog ask for? Well, it was clear that I needed a more permanent home. Luckily for me, Lisa, one of my favourite human friends, is very perceptive. She… read more >>
Adoption news!
Iggy has been adopted! Look how great he looks now! Big thanks to our vet and to Iggy’s foster home for taking such good care of him. And thanks to everyone who donated to us. You all made his amazing recovery possible!
No more hissing!
Kitten rescue day part two” video. Didn’t take long for the hissy little girl to realize that people aren’t out to hurt her, and she is enjoying the company of her human caretakers without all the hissing! The other three were snuggly and sweet pretty much right away. A couple of these guys are potentially adopted, but please fill out an adoption application if you would like to make a sweet kitten your forever friend!
Mom and babies video
Here’s mom with her seven babies. Thanks to the Village Cat Clinic for looking after these sweethearts for us!
Just because they’re so cute…
Just a cute video of two foster kittens playing. We rescued them on May 28, 2012 from a high-kill shelter and they will be available for adoption soon…
More rescuing!
Sorry it’s not the best photo, but it was hard to fit them all in! We rescued this sweet mom and her seven super cute babies yesterday. Big thanks to The Cat Clinic for helping us out with these guys. When the kittens are weened, and everyone is healthy enough, they will be available for adoption… We’ll keep you updated!
Kitten Rescue Day (part two)
Here are the other four kittens we rescued on May 28th. These guys will be a bit of a challenge for their foster home, but they’ll come around with love and patience. Check back soon for info on when they will be available for adoption…
Before and after…
Levon’s before and after! Big big thanks to Paula at Paw-la’s Pride And Groom for donating her time to take care of the final stage of Levon’s amazing transformation! He is so much happier (and better smelling) now! Yay Levon!
Our first dog rescue!
We rescued our first dog today! This is Levon. He came into a high-kill shelter as a stray. He’s badly matted, has horrible teeth, he’s mostly blind, his ears are impacted, and he has a heart murmur…but despite all that, he is such a sweetheart! Once we got him out of that kennel, his tail didn’t stop wagging! Levon is currently at the vet where he’ll get all the care he needs. We’ll keep you updated on how he’s doing. (Levon’s vet bills will be very high, so please head over… read more >>
Another Iggy update
Here’s a recent photo of Iggy…still healing from his skin issues, but doing so much better than he was when we first rescued him. Iggy’s foster family has done an amazing job helping him with his recovery!
Apologies
For those of you who purchased our Pet+Pose 2012 calendar, this is the awesome photo you’ll be seeing for the month. We want to apologize to Christine (the lovely lady in the photo) for the error in the title. Christine’s dog’s name is Summer…not Spencer. We’re not sure where along the way the mistake happened, but we wanted to clarify. So…everyone enjoy your April with Christine and Summer!
Minou update
An interesting development! Turns out Minou wasn’t pregnant! Our vets are chalking it up to a ‘false pregnancy’ which sometimes happens to cats and dogs. She sure fooled quite a few people with her big belly when we rescued her! Minou is scheduled to be spayed next week and will be available for adoption shortly after. Silly Minou!
Iggy Update
Here’s a short video update on Iggy. His ear tips have fallen off, and he’s still having some issues with his skin… But he is gaining weight and he is in good spirits, as you can see in the video. Thank you to everyone who donated to his care! We wouldn’t have been able to help Iggy without you!
NEWS
We rescued Iggy today. Poor guy is severely underweight and his ear tips are breaking off from frostbite damage. He’s currently at the vet and will be placed in a foster home to start his long recovery. Head over to our donation page to donate to Iggy’s care…
